When Grace finished speaking about the various benefits and negatives of using a dagger as a secondary weapon with minimal training the desert came into view for Kat's unenhanced eyes. Grace hadn't noticed yet as she was too focused on explaining the necessities of keeping your dagger sharp.
And it was a good thing too, for Kat could feel the fatigue rapidly approaching her. It was a strange feeling, it wasn't affecting her just yet, and it was more akin to a small voice of warning.
"Hey Grace" said Kat just before Grace could finish taking one of her few breaks for air "The deserts right here"
Grace got a shocked look on her face and turned in the direction of travel to see Kat was right. As they approached the desert the bright red sand stood out even more than usual against the clean white line of snow next to it.
